________________ 336 3ER - 92 * TWELE preference was to be made the Lord would surely prefer the Saguna Bhakta. Moreover, Saguna meditation was much easier and simple to practice. (Verses 1 to 7). In the verses 8 the Lord advises Arjuna to fix his mind only on Him. But what if one is not able to do it? Verses 9 to 11 show the way. They provide the way out by advising constant practice of fixing one's mind on Him. The Lord further advises that failing in this, one should perform all of his actions for God and failing even in this one should try to renounce the fruits of his actions by developing self control(Verses 8 to 12). Verses, which follow, prescribe the correct concuct and the way of life of a true seeker. He should not be a source of annoyance to others, he should be pure internally as well as externally, he should be the same to friends as well as foes, should be free from all attachments, should take praise as well as criticism alike, should be steady minded and Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
